Welcome to the forums!
It depends on the laws of the country that you live in as to whether or not it is legal or illegal to download and install some of the software that you might find there.oz

Thank you, nice to see friendly people. I am in UK. Is there a list of available/illegal software for UK? Basically I am interested in Win32 codec and libdvdcss, are they legal for UK ?

There are lots of varied opinions about what is legal and what is not, but the only way to know with absolute certainty would be to consult with a lawyer that specializes in that field. Even then a court could rule that the lawyer was wrong with the advise that he/she gave.
